Without the stalemate rule, I would not play chess. The arguments for abolishing this rule are ludicrous.
Totally agree
I am sure a lot of other people agree too- it is definitely not in FIDE's best interest to change the stalemate rule, since it would lose so many great players. If the rules aren't broke, then why fix them?
these guys arent even trolls.... they are forum terrorists... trying to stop people having their opinions heard
the irony
Exactly

Well I have read thru the whole thread on these two pages ( a glutton for punishment ) and I'm confused to say the least. I gather that some people are " anti-Stalemate " and yet DaBigOne left us a perfect example of the need for this rule back at post #30. I mean Black only has his King remaining and yet manages to trap White's King in a Stalemate, a thing of Beauty !!! Good old MWNN has managed to bring forward a large number of rather illogical arguments but he doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. In the field of Logic this might be referred to as a " Fallacy of Composition " perhaps even a " Fallacy of Circular Reasoning " lol.
